TBH, updating to this ROM has been good for me until now. I use voice and swype the most... And use the bundled android keyboard. And this one has voice too working in it...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Well that doesn't sound good...glad voice is working, but what is the "up until now" issue? I haven't noticed anything yet. What's going on? If it's something bad, I want to work on it and fix it immediately.

I am by far very impressed... Never thought even remotely I'd get this level of battery...

Conditions:

Battery Charge at start: 100%Battery Charge at end: 2%

Brightness: Auto, 100% of the timePower save mode: OnSmart Stay: Off

4G LTE: 100% of the time

Wallpaper: 100% colorful (no dark themes, plus the apps I used all had light backgrounds, with the exception of XDA with dark theme. I uninstalled dark gmail, and loaded the regular version from market).

My bad. I used that term as in our work place where we say "until now" or "thus far". Sorry about the confusion.

Man, and here you had me ready to start making changes. I thought I failed hard somewhere. lol. Your battery life is insane for what you're doing with the device. You tried really hard to kill the device today didn't you? hah. I'm just happy that there doesn't appear to be an issue and that the new kernel with optimizations is treating you well. Like I said, I'm very very happy with this release. I'm hoping that everyone else is experiencing the same luck that you and I are.

Oh and don't worry about it...I was the one who read incorrectly. I'm just relieved that you had such wonderful things to say. Your input is critical to development, as you've been with me for ages and have data to compare.

Yes... Esp cos 0% of the time was spent in songs or videos.. I feel playing them isn't really a real life test... 'cos from my experience, if a phone gives 5 hours on 4G browsing/calls... it would give nearly 7-8 hours in terms of viewing videos. So I literally had to search for ways I keep the phone active like I was doing my day to day tasks.

And now I get this --> Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day

You sure have a way with your words.

Thanks mate. I'm happy it worked out for you. Here are my results from today. I have been traveling all over the place while visiting my sister for the weekend and I'm still trying hard to kill it. Also, the xda app allows for unlimited thanks. It's been rather useful for me today with all these people to thank for their kind words and support.

I'm still at 22%. I've been on 3G with shoddy signal for a lot of the day. This is the battery level I used to get out of ICS. I am incredibly happy. I should mention power saving mode is off and I have not underclocked. I'm simply running the build the way it comes out of the box.

From what I know, power saving mode reduces screen refresh rate from normal 60 (when set to off) to 40 (when set to on). I have had this on all the time... and don't really notice much difference even when playing full 3D games. So I just leave it on all the time.

Exception of power saving mode is only one game... Fruit Ninja... This too I realized cos my wife plays this game a lot, and I have hers under clocked to 1.02. Maybe game isn't optimized well...

Fruit ninja was a fun game but I was never addicted. Also, you are correct about the framerate. Here's a screenshot directly from Samsung about what power saving mode actually does specifically:
